Having problems with your Fuji FinePix S5000 Digital Camera ?

Looking at the screen and through the view finder, all looks green and purple? How can I fix this, I changed a setting somehow

Answers :

I just tried changing the film type settings on my S5000. (the blue button, standard,chr, b/w) None of those changed the colors to purple and green. It may be that the camera has a failing CCD. It would be a rather expensive repair and not a DIY.

Over exposure The exposure settings on the camera have suddenly become fixed - I can't change them either through fixing shutter speed, OEV, or any other settings. Even tried a factory reset by selecting 'initialize' from the menu, but the problem persists. High or low exposure settings are visible on the viewfinder (i.e. changing the settings shows the picture getting darker or lighter on the screen), but once the picture is shot, it's fixed at an overexposed state.

Hi!! I inherited a Konica Dynax Maxxum 5D it takes great pictures, but I can't figure out how to get the LCD monitor to show the picture I am taking...it is on a blue screen with functions and settings, but I can't find where in those settings to change it back to seeing the view by looking at the screen, I always have to look through the view finder to shoot a pic. Hope you can help, Thanks a lot, Cath

To see the picture you want to take on the screen, your camera needs to have a feature called "live view". I'm not sure if your camera has that feature. It's a relatively new feature on more expensive cameras. Check your owner's manual. ...

Sony DSC-S700 when turned on sometimes the screen is blurry and pink toned with blurry grey lines running accross the screen. Photos turn out the same. Happens intermittently. Have changed batteries, checked to ensure the dial on the top was centered on Auto Adjustment setting. Doesn't matter what setting display looks the same: pink and blurry with the lines. Checked all the settings in the menu. Not sure why it does this...worried it may be a board problem.

I can't find my photos. I was taking pictures and all of a sudden all the photo I took looked smaller on the screen and said unidentified image. I started playing with the settings and then I think I may have somehow put some of the photos into catagories. Now only a few of the photos show up when I press play. Also, when I took the chip out and put it in a developing station, the photos that said unidentified object didn't even show a picture on the screen. On the the camera screen some do

Dark LCD I have an A70, about a year old. The problem is the LCD screen is very dark. It is almost completely black unless I point the camera dirrectly at light.

Black screen Yesterday I grabbed my camara for a not to be missed shot and found that I too have the same problem now of the black image through the view finder and on the lcd screen. I have replaced the batteries, tried changing settings and nothing works. I too can see the icons and view previously taken pictures but can take no new ones. I feel that paying $350 for a disposable camara is a bit much! I purchased it just a little over a year ago. I saw on the Canon website that they are fixing

Black screen when on camera or record mode, the screen is black. It'll take a picture and/or record but all in black. I thought the camera needed charging but that didn't change anything. I tried to view/change all the settings but still nothing. Any solution? Could it be defective? Please advise on how to fix or if it's even possible at this point. Thanks!

Polaroid a520 Hi there My camera stopped working suddenly. The battery indiocator is showing green, but the camera does not seem to turn on. I changed the batteries, used the ac adapter, etc, but the screen is black and there seems to be no indication of the camera being in any mode. However, I can see faint vertical colored lines when I look at the screen from a certain angle. Any advice? Thank you~

Lcd/viewfinder THe LCD screen looks as if there is a shutter, for lack of a better description, nearly closed. Only a sliver of view is available. It appears that way with both the picture taking and playback mode. The eyepiece looks different than normal, but at least can be used. Photos come out just fine.
The same thing happened last week, and then all of a sudden it was OK.
Did I mistakenly change a setting? Any suggestions?
Thank you!

Lost AutoFocus My camera is new, bought 2 days ago, and yesterday I was changing the modes wheel (on top). Then I noticed it couldn't set focus at all, anymore! Should this be a problem with the camera, or can fix it by changing some configuration?

My wife has somehow changed the camera photo settings to black and white and we can't get it to change back to color. I have checked online and she has done several factory resets but that hasn't helped. It is still stuck on black and white photos. She is on a field trip with my son and we need to get it fixed ASAP., Can you help me?

I am having a problem with my camera. It works in the sense that it turns on and takes pictures. However, the both the digital lcd display and normal finder display remain black, even after removing the lens cap. I let a friend borrow it a little while ago and I suspect they may have changed some settings, but I'm not sure what to look for to fix it. When it takes pictures, they come out looking very distorted and strange. But, it does take pictures, the flash goes off and a picture records. c

Canon PowerShot A520 Digital Camera

I have purple horizontal lines across my screen when i try to take a picture. When i snap the picture that is all i get. The memory card seems to be fine in that all the pix stored on it look fine when i check on the camera. What could be wrong? The only thing of note is that i had the memory card alone in my cold car for a few days . I tried putting a new memory card in the camera and that didn't change anything either with the purple horizontal lines.
